Maybe for the ACRA [0] integration that emails crash reports to OTRS [1]? I think it asks if you want to send the report though.

The mobile apps (Android and iOS) do indeed collect anonymous usage statistics [0]. For more information on what the usage reports contain, as well as other topics such as app permissions, please refer to our FAQ [1].

That FAQ says `The app automatically collects certain sanitized user statistics, but this can be disabled by going to the main app menu (top left), selecting the "More" option, and unchecking the "Send usage reports" checkbox.'
Presumably the Wikipedia Android app license [5] lets F-droid compile a version of the Android app with the tracking code disabled or removed. IANAL so can't tell from the license whether the resulting work has to be renamed à la Debian Iceweasel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Corporation_software_rebranded_by_the_Debian_project [6].
Can someone with an F-droid wiki account or who has a contact in that org update the Wikipedia app page [7]? The Wikipedia Android app license [5] is not GPLv2 but Apache 2.0, and the Site and Issues links are redirects.
